I Viluk's cousin, Kllse Alarberry, an American lrl, owns a coffee pluntullou aud other laud near Porto Verde and has received mys terious warnings to get out of the country. Viluk Is alarmed, because severul deaths ulready have occur red and the superstitious natives think some supernatural forco is at work.

Vllak believes Prentiss is some how Involved lu the mysterious deaths. Before going to Prentiss' place, Vllak and Nunnally. cull on Kllse Marberry. Against viluk's wishes, she Insists on going along. When Vllak knocks at Prentiss' door, snying he is Kllse's lawyer, Pren tiss orders them away. NOW BEGIN THE STORY CHAPTER XI Vllak shrugged his shoulders and returned to bis companions. Did you learn anything? ' Kllse usked eagerly. 'Perhaps a little. Perhaps top much," lie answered. the moon disappeared behind a cloud. The path became shrouded lu misty darkness. They were slowly picking their way toward the guto when they heard a click as of a door being opened ill Pren tiss' bouse. A moment later some thing bounded through the brush toward them. "He's let the dog out on us," Vl lak murmured. "Hun to the'pnto." The girl took the old man's hand and darted off to the fence.

"You aud Kllse walk ahead and talk to each other as loudly as you like. The louder the better. Keep talking. Have your pistol ready, Nanny, but don't Bhoot un less I tell you." ' The old man and the girl moved obediently down the path." Vllak crept Into the brush aud waited, listening Intently. After a few mo ments he stepped out and rejoined the others. "I was certain some thing was there," be remarked. "It's quite possible my ears trick ed me out here in the jungle where there are so many noises. Don't of ten do It though." ' They reached the tree near the ! thorn thicket where Ellse. like the others, had tied her horse. She looked back at the black hole! through which they had Just come. 1 "Well, we got through there with ! out any trouble, after all," she Bald. 1 jour ears are playing trlckB with you, aren't they, Vllak. .

The others came uu to look. Vllak brushed the mud off his clothe. "Jle won't bother anyone' elite for at least halt au hour. J gave hiiu a good done of chloroform." The old man looked at the long faiiKH, white In the rays of Viluk's flaalillKht, "Kr are you sure you haven't killed him?" "I don't kill unletta I have to. Not even a dog?" They crawled through the gate hi the fashion they had entered. Vllak took a wax Impression or the lock. They crossed the creek and climbed the sharp slope to the lake above. Kllse stooped to pull out her boot which had suuk deep Into Its muddy shore. "I don't see why I should want his property nven if It Is mine' she said thoughtfully, as she gazed out over the misty expanse of wa tor. "Why he lives lu that wretch ed spot Is utterly beyond me. There's far too much of this water above it. It's bad enough on my fazenda, being threatened every rainy season by the dam at Avilos, but lu his house I'd be constantly afraid that one of these lukes would overflow and start-trouble. The ground where his house is sit I Pletely gone to pieces. I'd hear a uaLed is so extremely low. The lakes probably aren't large enough to do much damage; nevertheless It wouldn't be pleasant if they broke through.

She was about to speak again when a warning pressure of her cousin's hand checked her. thought I heard a noise," he great many things that didn't exist if I smoked even two of them." Vllak smiled, and took out his fantastically carved clgaret case. "Perhaps that's a hint that you'd like one now?" She mad an in dlguant gesture of refusal. "You, Nanny?" . The old man rather timidly tobk out hfs own modest, mild-flavored package. "Er, thank you very mucu. jiut I think er think I'd BEFORE WAR PRICES REQ.

They obeyed quickly, and close to Vilak waited, the girl listening to catch the faintest trembling of the, brush. Nunnally, glad of the opportunity to rest from his un usual exertions, leaned lightly against the tree under which he stood. Suddenly he gave a sharp ejaculutlon of pain. For the first time the old man suw his friend lose his coolness. He wheeled violently and spoke in a fever of anxiety of which Nunnally had not believed him capable. "You hurt, Nanny? Quick! What's the matter?" "Er nothing. Er really noth ing." Nunnally'a voice was humble and apologetic. "I'm sorry I cried out. Er sorry. I forgot about the er glove and took it off and stuck my hand on a er thorn." "Never mind about that. Let me er match though.1 "You mean to say you've lost those two boxes I gave you this af ternoon?" The old man looked at him humbly. "Not lost "exactly. Er Not lost. They just slipped down into that lining of my coat again." "You're hopeless. You're posi tively hopeless, Nanny." Vilak shook his head. "If Elise Is still the good creature she was when she was a child she'll sew up your pockets tomorrow. Here's another box of matches. Don't lose this one." They lit cigareU, mounted, and rodo toward the town. As they reached jthe spot where the bridge crossed the river they saw the light of the torches at the railroad encampment, and upon Elise's re pressing a wish to see it . rode nearer. From the top of the em bankment they could look down and see the laborers still at work pitch ing their camp, their black .shadowy forms flitting about spectrally In the ruddy light of the torches and the fire. They were close enough to the encampment to bo clearly seen by those below; the handsome, whlte linened chief with whom Vilak had spoken ' several hours earlier walked over to gaze up the em bankment and ascertain the Iden tity of his visitors. Recognizing Vllak atid the chemist, he smiled and waved his hand cheerily. "You ride late tonight, senore," lie called out in his clear, robust voice. "Win you not come down and chat a1 little?" "No, thanks a lot!" Vilak called in response, , "We're ' on our way to bed." ... "Ah, Indeed are you most lucky," the engineer answered. "Myself I shall be up all the night before the camp is done. All, the life of the engineer is not easy. But at least you will smoke with me a cfgaret. It would be most kind. It would pass for me a lew moments pleas antly. Too often am I lonely." He waved a comprehensive hand to ward his vicious-faced working men. "With my villains, helas, there is not much to talk." "Sorry. We've really got to go," Vilak responded . "Some other night, perhaps." . They chatted a moment from the heights, then the three called out a good night and touched spurs to their horses. "Boa noite, senhorita, senhors," the engineer called out after them.' "Have a care of the roads. I. O. O. F. ATTENTION .' '- Third degree Friday, July 1. Lunch. By order N. G.

"Delightful," Vllak responded.. : They rode a dark quarter of a mile without seeing either beast or traveler except a belated ox-cart driving to town, which the cursing Brazilian driver told them had broken down fifteen kilometers up the road and the powers of evil only knew when he would get Into the city. Then they heard a sound of men's voices in argument and nearlng the spot saw the two Ital ians who had been there earlier in the evening, Fasquale Branza :of the patched cheek and enormous Adam's apple and the one-armed Dette Cicerone of the broken teeth. The Latins stopped arguing im-. mediately on seeing the travelers .and swiftly snatching off their hats aud bowing unctuously, murmured a salutation.
